[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I didn't get the sense you were asking about price but rather about rankings.

Pick fit over rankings 100%. My DD did this, picked a school she fell in love with even though she could have gotten into much higher ranked schools. She's there now, ecstatically happy and being very challenged academically.

The higher ranking schools are not necessarily where you will get the best education.[/quote]

We have three in college.  Totally agree with this.  Always fit over ranking.  Your child will spend at least four years of his life at this place.  The experience is every bit as important as the degree.  We have a child that turned down an Ivy to go to a small state college.  We were less than thrilled by her choice at the time.  It's been perfect for her.  They gave her a full academic Scholorship.  She was accepted into their honors college which gave her access to some amazing internships and other programs.  The right people have just appeared in her life at the right time.  She had a job offer the end of her junior year because of the contacts she made at the school.  [/quote]
